Technorati Tags: jQuery As I start on my venture to really start using jQuery a lot more outside of simple form validation, I wanted to share some really great links I found lately that once again got me fired up about jQuery. This is part of my initial research into more jQuery as we’re going to be using it extensively in our new redesign for the .com I am working at so might as well dig more in now. ...
Technorati Tags: Standards I liked this post by Jeremy D. Miller about what really makes our jobs tough because of others or departments who don’t care to have any sort of process, standards, or feature priority. If only other developers would take the time to care and really work towards coding good quality code, the entire team becomes 5x more productive. This includes telling the business NO at times or slowing down the business (in the case of code & run shops) so that the quality of code and just sanity of work and ability to think while you code,...
Technorati Tags: Tools I wanted to give a shout out to a friend of mine who started a really cool and useful site a while back called Dimecasts.net. This site was created by Derik Whittaker, a very good friend of mine (in fact was my college roommate…which means I have a lot of good dirt on him jk) who is passionate about code. He was always the guy in his room cuddling with his doll . Dimecasts.net’s main purpose is to give brief overviews of different code technologies and tools and to better explain them through the use of...

Technorati Tags: Subtext,Windows Live Writer You will get this generic error in Live writer. It’s based on a permission problem when trying to post to Subtext. If you are hosting Subtext on your own public server, or ISP..in either situation, the Subtext skins/yourskin/images folder must have write permissions for Network Service account on your domain server, or else you will get this error when trying to post with a picture in Live Writer to Subtext 2.1
Technorati Tags: CSS,ASP.NET There is absolutely no excuse not to use CSS classes in your asp.net controls. And just because some appear not to work, doesn’t mean they can’t. For example, it’s important to note that if you specify a CssClass in an ASP.NET validation control, you will find out that if you specify a color, that it doesn’t take. That’s because you need to decorate it with !important in your CSS class: <asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="vldEmailRegex" CssClass="required" . . .
.required
{
color: #801517 !important;
vertical-align: top;
}
Using properties such as ForeColor and others...
